I agree, Shomenuchi should definitely be seen as an armed attack. A knife, or perhaps more likely/contemporary.. A bottle.

Looks great. Only real problem is that you are really unlikely to get into a fight with anyone who will karate chop your skull, unless if you live in Okinawa or something.

@99XM like anything else, but you already know.Don't you?

@24nordic aikido is for movies

@abbas224 you are correct on your analogy, it makes sense. However, I personally believe that the only way one can understand and teach properly on how to defend against weapons, is to be able to teach on how to do damage with such a weapon. Unfortunately, for most of us the traditional art of samurai is lost in the haze of history.

So why don't they practice the strike with a weapon (even if it's just a rubber knife)? How can you learn how to defend against weapon attacks if you don't actually use weapons?
Reminds me of my little brother... he spends all day on his 360 playing driving games and thinks he could actually drive a car.

@24nordic Yeah.. you're right.
Question," why in the world would you strike the top of the opponent head?".........well, sir sensei it is because the strike was done with a weapon and not with an empty hand.

i always thought that you strike on the head because your hand is a replacement for a weapon.
so the hand must been seen as a knife or something.
